As I said in reply to another message, I agree that, generally, it is not necessary to flash the BIOS without a good reason to do so. Since that point had already been made I saw no reason to say it again. I was simply trying to give an answer to the question. However, flashing the BIOS, when done in strict compliance with the instructions in the readme file, should not create any problems, even for an inexperienced person. I've done it twice on older computers and would not hesitate to do it on this one if it was needed. Don Do YOU want a gmail account invitation?
